Hart delves into the cultural and political impacts of Rome's interactions with Transdanubian peoples, emphasizing the Sarmatians of the Hungarian Plain, whose long encounter with the Roman Empire, he argues, created a problematic template for later dealings with Goths and Huns based on misapplied ethnographic and ecological tropes. Beyond the River, Under the Eye of Rome explores how Roman stereotypical perceptions of specific Danubian peoples directly influenced some of the most politically significant events of Roman antiquity. Drawing on textual, inscriptional, and archaeological evidence, Hart illustrates how Roman ethnic and ecological stereotypes were employed in the Danubian borderland to support the imperial frontier edifice fundamentally at odds with the region's natural topography. Distorted Roman perceptions of these Danubian neighbors resulted in disastrous mismanagement of border wars and migrant crises throughout the first five centuries CE. Beyond the River demonstrates how state-supported stereotypes, when coupled with Roman military and economic power, exerted strong influences on the social structures and evolving group identities of the peoples dwelling in the borderland. 606 $aLimes (Roman boundary)$zDanube River Valley$xHistory 606 $aRomans$zDanube River Valley 607 $aRome$xHistory$yEmpire, 30 B.C.-476 A.D 607 $aRome$xHistory, Military$y30 B.C.-476 A.D 615 0$aLimes (Roman boundary)$xHistory. 615 0$aRomans 686 $aHIS000000$aHIS002020$aLIT004190$2bisacsh 700 $aHart$b Timothy C$01622495 801 0$bEYM 801 1$bEYM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910880701303321 996 $aBeyond the River$94290329 997 $aUNINA
